Instinctively, Maggie stepped back, shielding her brother behind her.

“Bro, calm down. We're in public," Jeffry interjected, positioning himself in front of Maggie.

Johnny shifted his gaze to Jeffry.

"And who the hell are you? You better learn to mind your own business!"

“I'm her friend. Let me handle this," Jeffry asserted.

Johnny smirked.

“Well, you've got some nerve. My brother was injured.

If they don't cough up two hundred thousand, they won't get away with it

Confronted with Johnny's unreasonable demands, Maggie could not help but retort, "Both parties were involved in the fight! What evidence do you have to demand compensation of two hundred thousand? Just so you know, I can sue you for blackmail."

Maggie's firm refusal of the exorbitant demand only served to further fuel Johnny's rough demeanor as his frustration grew more evident.

He rolled up his sleeves, his voice gruff as he responded, "You want to sue me for blackmail? Looks like you're asking for trouble!"

Sensing Johnny's growing impatience, Jeffry quickly intervened.

"Hey, calm down. Cameras are watching."

With his patience wearing thin, Johnny turned his attention to Bart and warned, "You better talk some sense into your sister and make sure she doesn't cross us."

Bart felt flustered. He discreetly tugged at Maggie's sleeve and whispered, “What should we do now? These guys seem to have some influence in this area. Dealing with them is going to be tricky."

Maggie, of course, was well aware of the situation.

She swallowed, her heart pounding in her chest as she feigned calmness.

“Two hundred thousand is absolutely out of the question.”

“Well then, three thousand is also impossible!" the man retorted.

Meeting Johnny's gaze head-on, Maggie pondered for a moment before raising two fingers in the air.

"I can offer twenty thousand."

She knew deep down that she didn't need to pay twenty thousand, but her brother had offended this thug.
